Word Study and Vocabulary Development
• Vocabulary development is both an outcome of comprehension and a precursor to it, with word meanings making up as much as 70-80% of comprehension.
• Direct instruction in vocabulary influences comprehension more than any other factor.
• 70% of the most frequently used words have multiple meanings
• Meanings of 60% of multi-syllabic words can be inferred by analyzing word parts.
